Fender American Vintage Stratocaster Bridge Saddles - Nickel, Medium

The top saddle in the photo is the new one, the bottom saddle is a typical older Fender unit.The new saddles are a bit thinner and shorter than the ones I had, but they solved a problem. My bridge was formerly floating, but I changed to a decked setup to help with tuning and intonation. The old saddles would be so close to the bridge pivot screws that I couldn't intonate the high E. These saddles have a tighter bend at the height adjustment end, so I gained back the space I needed. Being shorter they also cleared better vertically. This was easier than shimming the neck pocket.

Just be careful to measure your guitar before buying, in my case, it did not work because my saddles are bigger than these ones, but I purchased it because of the small screws that go into the saddle, but I wish each product description has more and accurate measures

For some reason, the old tried and true Fender 'bent' style saddles seem to be the most stable and easiest to work with and adjust. I have used these in numerous builds and will continue using them.

Nice saddles just didnt fit my mim guitar

Unbelievably poor-quality manufacturing.The threaded holes are drilled inaccurately.Two are so bad the saddles are lifting up and to the side.These are not $30+ saddles!They are not usable.I can't believe they came in Fender packaging.

Worked perfectly but wow, so expensive. Really ridiculous that these parts are being priced so outlandishly expensive.

I bought this to replace and preserve the original saddles of my YJM stratocaster, and I must say it felt and sounded different from the original saddles on my strat, this set for some weird reason makes a long ringing sound when bumped into each other,like a triangle bell sound but not as loud. I tried it on the original saddles of my strat but it just made a short klink sound. So now im thinking this set must be made from a different material than that that came with the yjm strat but i could be wrong, maybe its just because its a new set. I also noticed that all saddles look the same, as if a mold was made from one saddle to make replicas. So im not sure if this is the same saddles that they put on those models of strats with vintage strat trems in terms of materials and factory made, but it looks the same only shiny. But still, works fine, does the job really well, Im really satisfied.Oh! the only thing that i dont like is that this doesnt ship outside US, or at least where im staying, I had to ask someone from texas to receive it and then send it to me. Other than that its all good.

I recently bought this set for a partscaster and after reading some reviews about how they are not as thick as preCBS saddles I use a digital caliper to compare them against the saddles on a 60s Strat of which I am the original owner and they are both 3/64ths" thick steel.I think some people are judging them by comparing them against reproductions of various eras. So I would say they are virtually identical to actual vintage saddles.
